(Libby)
My alarm had just went off so I was currently laying up and stretching. I had a great night with Carlos yesterday and he wanted me to go back to his house with him but unfortunately I had homework so I ended up back at Sophie's. She must have went out with Nick because no one was home when I got in and she wasn't there when I went to bed
I honestly started to worry when I woke up and Sophie still wasn't beside me. Sophie wasn't the type to sleep out. I told myself she must've been sleeping in her mother's room so I decided to just get ready without her. Maybe she was tired or something
About an hour later I started to worry again so I tried knocking on the door but it was locked so I immediately thought she left for school early today and decided to leave without me. I such before quickly making my way to the door only to see Sophie dressed in a red dress curled up in a ball in front of the door
"Hey Sophie" I said shaking her until she woke up
"Huh? What time is it?"
"Don't huh me. Why are you sleeping on the door?" I asked
"Oh I got home late and I guess I sort of just passed out" she said before I noticed the makeup running down her face
"Oh my God Sophie were you crying" I said before she wiped the makeup from her face
"Oh no. I was just sweating a lot last night. It was surprisingly hot last night" she lied
"Sweat huh. So this wouldn't have anything to do with Nick" I asked
"Of course not" she said almost believably
"Okay fine. Get up and go get ready. We're gonna be late" I said helping her up.
Some time later she came back dressed
"So is Nick picking you up?" I asked before we heard a honking outside. We walked out to see Nick in his car
"I guess that answers my question" I said about to walk to my car before she grabbed my arm
"Actually I'm thinking of driving with you today okay" she said
"Sure girl" I said before we made our way to my car
"Hey Sophie can we talk?" Nick asked walking up to us
"It's fine Nick we have nothing to talk about" she said
"If that were true you wouldn't be avoiding me" he said as I entered the car
"I'm not avoiding you okay. I just need some space" she said as she entered in the car then we drove off leaving him on the lawn.
"Mind telling me what that was all about" I asked
"It's nothing. We're just taking some time away from each other that's all" she answered looking out the window
"Huh that's what people say before they break up" I said
"I thought you wanted us to break up" she said
"No I wanted to know if this has anything to do with Jimmy" I said
"What!" She yelled turning towards me
"Listen Taylor and his new bimbo have nothing to do with this alright" she yelled defensively
"Jimmy and his new what?" I asked
"Nothing" she said quickly turning back out the window
We continued the rest of the ride in silence.
"Hey Shinning one you're here" Carlos said as he and Carl walked up to us
"Good morning" I said kissing his lips for a second
"How's it going?" Carl asked looking at his phone
"What are you looking at Carl?" Sophie asked
"I'm just trying to win an auction on a llama boy costume with a free limited edition glass llama" he explained
"Why?" I asked
"I'm planning on wearing it to fright night" he said
"Carl that's 28 days away" Carlos said
"Yeah but if I win it will take 10 days to get here and then I'll have to make space for the llama in my collection. I can't just throw it down. I mean would you leave a rare Superman action figure on the side of your bed" Carl said
"Okay I see your point" he said
"Plus it's never too early to start thinking about Fright Night considering it's our last" I added
"Aren't you leading the committee this year" Sophie asked
"Of course and I'm in charge of the music" I said
"Good at least I know they'll be good music there" Sophie said
"Girl you know it" I said
"Hey guys" Jimmy said as he walked up to us looking rather happy
"Hey Jimmy" Carl, Carlos and I said
"Taylor" Cindy scoffed
"What are you guys talking about?"
"We're just talking about fright night" Carlos said
"But isn't that 4 weeks away?" He said
"Yeah" I said
"But we're planning from early. Speaking of which we haven't spoken about dates." Carl said
"Yeah Sophie's going with Nick, I'm obviously going with Libby and Carl's well Carl's going by himself. So who are you going with?"
"Oh I've got someone in mind" he said grinning which made me suspicious before I looked at Sophie but she was looking in the opposite direction at Nick's car before she ran away.
The first thought I had went out the window and the obvious stood in front of me
"What's her problem?" Jimmy asked before I started marching over to Nick
"Where are you going?" Carlos yelled as I stopped in front of Nick as he exited his car
"Hey Libby have you seen Sophie?" He asked
"She doesn't want to talk to you and I want to know why" I said glaring at him
"I don't have time for this. Can you just tell me where she is" he demanded
"NO! Not until you tell me what you did" I said
"What's happening here?" Carlos asked walking up to us with Carl and Jimmy behind him
"Back off Estevez. I'm just here to talk to Sophie" Nick said
"After what you did" Jimmy said
"Stay out of this Taylor. This has nothing to do with you" Nick said glaring at him
"What's going on here?" Betty's voice said coming over to us
"Great someone else. You know what I'll talk to her later" Nick said getting into his car and driving away
"Okay. Looks like I missed something" Betty said
"No it's fine. I actually glad you came. I want to ask you something" Jimmy said
"Sure. You can ask me while we walk" she said
"Wait Jimmy. Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked
"Can't this wait Libby?"
"It's about Sophie and its serious" I said
"Alright. Do you mind Betty?"
"Sure go ahead" she said
"I'll talk to you later okay Betty" Jimmy said
"Okay" Betty said before she left.
"Carlos I'll talk to you guys later okay" I said
"Okay see ya" Carlos said kissing my cheek before leaving with Carl
"So what's up?" Jimmy asked
"Did you happen to see Sophie last night"
"Yeah"
"Did say what happened between her and Nick yesterday?" I asked
"She didn't tell you. If she didn't tell you I don't think I should either" He said
"Look if you don't tell me I'll just ask Nick. So just tell me now" I said before we sat on the lawn where he told me everything and to be honest I was still confused.
That's the reason Sophie slept at door crying. I know she likes Nick but I know she definitely doesn't like him that much
"Are you sure that's all?" I asked
"Huh that's all she said before asking me about my date"
"Date?" I asked curious
"Yeah I went out with Betty and we kissed" I said
"And Sophie knows about this"
"Yeah I told her but then she said she wasn't feeling well and left" he said before everything made sense.
"God damnit" I said jumping up
"I'll see you later James" I said.
The whole day I was looking for Sophie but couldn't find her. So I just waited for the end of school before going to her house where I waited for four hours before she came in
"How could you!" She yelled angrily
"What?" I asked
"How could you just go up to Nick behind my back." Sophie said
"Well you didn't tell me the truth so I had to" I said
"I already told you it was nothing. It had nothing to do with Nick"
"Of course not. It had to do with Jimmy"
"Not this again" she said walking away
"Don't walk away from me" I said walking behind her
"Why not huh? Why are you trying to ruin my relationship. The relationship you said I should start. What happened to I should move on" she said
"That's before I realized you still love Jimmy and right now the only people I'm sorry for are Nick and Betty because one of these days one of you are gonna end up in the other's bed" I said
"And who are you to decide that?" She argued
"I thought I was your best friend" I said angrily before her mother walked in
"Girls. Girls. What's all this argument for?" She asked
"Nothing Mrs. Vortex. I was just going home" I said before I walked away.
"I'm going to bed" she stormed off
After packing my bag I went out the door to see Jimmy punch some guy to the ground while Betty hid behind him shocked
